Assignment THREE

I am sure you are all anxious to improve your English, so you probably anticipated your next assignment...so click on the link and get started on TWO PET exams!
If you have trouble right away, you can start with the KET exam, it would be a good idea to do some practice at the KET level before attempting to do the PET exams.
I would like you to send ALL of your PET writing assignments to this blog, where I will correct them.

Assignment TWO

This week you will be watching a very short video on the world's English MANIA. It is from a site that I really like called TED.COM, and I often watch videos on this site instead of watching TV!

Just click on the link, and then look at the bottom left side of your screen to turn on the subtitles in English. You can try to watch without subtitles the first time, but it is a GREAT idea to practice listening with subtitles in English so that you train your brain to understand the words being spoken. (Don't forget that you can watch a video while eating your lunch every Friday at 13:30 in the English classroom!)

After watching this video, explore the site and choose another video that you think will be interesting. Don't forget to turn on the subtitles!
I can't wait to hear what you think about the one I have chosen, and also the ones you choose to watch afterward!

Here is the link:
